For many years, having anything done to your car required going to a repair shop. Having to go to a shop after work meant long waits during their busy time. Going any other time meant taking off work or school. These trips are a hassle and can take up a lot of your time. Wouldn’t it be nice if repair shops could come to you? Surprisingly, several automotive services are now coming to their customers. This allows the service to come to your work or home to get the job done. Here are four of the most popular.
Brake Repairs
Many repair shops are now offering mobile brake repair services. These companies typically have a specially equipped truck or van that has all of the necessary equipment to do common brake repairs. Whether you need your brake pads repaired, a drum swapped, brake fluid flushed or a set of calipers replaced, they can do it all. Make life easier on yourself the next time your brakes need service and have that service come to you.
Glass Repair
Mobile glass repair has been around for a long time. Often service centers and autobody shops will want you to drop off your vehicle and they coordinate with the glass repair shop. However, most insurance companies contract directly with glass shops and can have the glass company come to you.
Collision Repair Appraisal
When you get into an accident, your first thought is to take your car to an autobody shop. If the vehicle isn’t drivable, that’s a good call. But if there’s nothing unsafe or undrivable about your car, it’s perfectly acceptable to keep driving it. All insurance companies have traveling appraisers that can meet you wherever you want; at work, at home, even at the supermarket. They will get you your damage appraisal and get you back on the road in no time.
Interior and Exterior Detailing
Another area that is growing in mobile services is interior and exterior detailing. Does your car need an extensive interior detail, complete with carpet shampooing? Are there light scratches across your vehicles exterior surfaces and you want it washed, clay-blocked and waxed? Is your engine compartment filthy and in need of degreasing and detail? A detailer can come to you.
The automotive industry is growing and evolving. These four mobile services are now commonly offered in many areas. The next time you need automotive service, see if the service provider can come to you.
